pros and cons.

well. here I am. I've gone and done it. jumped on the bandwagon and started a blog. and at this exact moment I'm not too sure how I feel about it. it all started when my good friend Cheryl went and read someone's blog to me. and I was so surprised because it was fun!! who knew a blog doesn't have to be for angry people or people with a great deal of excitement going on in their lives. it doesn't necessarily have to have a single-minded purpose or a specific point I'm trying to sell you on. it can be, dare I say it.... just for fun! shocking I know. but I really did send a great deal of time thinking about this.... so I've decided to make use of this place to share my thoughts, and consider, for just a moment, the pros and the cons.

pros:

.it's a place for me to share the bright spots of my day and also the cloudy ones, and a place to able to laugh at myself.

.it's a lovely way to keep in touch with old friends and new ones. the ones who live in far off places and the ones who live within walking distance.
.I like photos and quotes and stories and such, and it will be fun to share those nifty things with anyone who cares to read them at all.

.I don't really care if no one at all reads this. but if you do you do, thanks.

cons: (or fears..? but most of them have a fairly obvious solution.)

.I love to journal. I really don't want this to take away from that at all.

.I want to write letters to people. I don't want to not, because of this.

.I don't want this to be "another thing". you know, something that I feel obligated to do.

.I don't want to have the pressure for this to always be "good" and "entertaining". if it is, sweet.

if not, I'm okay with that.

.I don't want this too steal too much of my time. there's too much life to live.

.stalker. enough said.

a few things you should know:
the A key on my keyboard is sticky. I like photos. I will be random and sporadic, and I may not even post for months at a time. so there. oh. and also. I am a wretched speller. praise the Lord for spell check.

and so it begins.
